Say Hi To Steve Worth in the hospital

Steve is sick: Kali and Marlo show how much they care for his sweet ass.Steve is a real hero in animation today. He's the guy behind the Asifa Animation Archive.http://www.animationarchive.org/He's building a huge library of great cartoons, comic art and illustration from the Golden Age Of cartoons and letting the public come in and look at all this cool stuff for free.

Well the poor guy is in the hospital. We saw him yesterday and he looks like he's getting better, but maybe a pile of you cartoon fans can let him know you love what he's doing and need him to come back fit and soon. Maybe you've got a cute sister for him.Say hi on here and offer a hug or a bratwurst then go to his amazing site and say hi in his comments too!

If you hunt around his site you find some really great rare cartoon art and artists!

Awww--get better soon, Worth! I don't see how you couldn't help feeling better with such tasty eye candy--both the pulchritudinous and drawn varieties--at your bedside. But being abed (sans company) just plain stinks, I know, and all of us wish you a swift and painless recovery. Meanwhile I will pray to the cartoon gods to send you extra-pretty nurses till you're outta there.

{I'd draw you a card myself but who dares stick one in there among the likes of John, Marlo, Katie et al? -not me, uh-uh. But you're well covered already! }

Omigosh Steve! I'm sorry you've been so ill. I'm glad you're getting better. I'm glad you have such pretty hot visitors such as Kate and Marlo visit you when you're ill. Take it slow and relax. I'm toasting you and your health with a nice big ol' frankfurter.All the best!

Get well soon, Steve! You've got the best animation site on the internet, and you're probably doing th #1 most important work relating to cartoons on the entire planet! I visit your site everyday for new goodies!

Look, they even got Kali to unleash her amazing marker technique for you!

Sorry to hear you're in the hospital Steve. I hope you get well real soon. Thanks to you and your great work at the archive, I've learned so much more about the cartoons I love and I've met some pretty great and awesome people. Get well buddy!

Get well soon, Steve! I hope it's nothing too serious. Rare are people with such knowledge and passion for animation and art in general. If I ever find myself in LA, Animation Archive will be the first place to visit.

Steve - I've known you forever! Usenet and all. I bought Mighty Mouse cels from you years ago, and you took the time to pack extra cartoon-related crap with the shipments! You're a true legend in the Animation World.

Hope you get better, Steve! The ASIFA blog is one of my favorite sites! I've never thanked you for putting all that neat cartoon animation stuff in there, so thank you! Get well! Us cartoon people need you!

whoa! steve get well soon! i really appreciate all the work you do! our east coast asifa pales in comparison to the amazing work you do for asifa hollywood! it's been invaluable and driven myself and so many of my colleagues to do better work and learn! thank you so very much!

Hello John… just today I knew of the situation about Steve! I have the hope he is going away to improve and will be very well. And hopefully that returns in a moment. Steve is excellent compadre, a great person! Thanks to him, I can say that I am learning much! and I am fan of ASIFA, from Chile, the ass of the world, spirit and force!a great hug to Steve and please it recovers your health!! We are hoping to you!FABIO POWER

Hi John,Please tell Steve hello and I hope he gets better soon.I wanted to let you know I recived a nice email from Art Lozzi with regard to the comment i made about the BG color stuff you posted. I work with a guy named Don Watson (maybe you know him?) who worked with Art at HB in those days, so I hooked them up. See? Your blog is doing other good things you dont even know about! Happy Holidays.

I wanna see that other drawing Marlo was working on! it looks awesome. any pictures of that????man I love you guys so much, you have no idea how you've changed me & my art making. I'm going to work my ass off so I can fly to LA and Stalk you from there, instead of wayyyyy up here in Toronto.

They finally removed the toxic chemical NAPTHA from magic markers sometime in the late 80's/early 90's. Repeated inhalation of that stuff in non-ventilated areas was capable, according to the National Poison Control Center, of causing spinal damage.

Thanks for the good wishes everyone! My brother printed out all your comments and brought them to me, and it made me feel a whole lot better. I'm home, recouperating and getting back my strength. I'll be back at the archive soon.
